If you are interested in helping teachers who want to improve reading and math in their classrooms, then Donors Choose might be of great interest to you.
The Erie Community Foundation just partnered with DonorsChoose.org for a “Double Your Impact” program in order to help teachers raise money for exciting classroom projects. Over the past few weeks, teachers have been preparing and posting their projects online.
Beginning TODAY, you can see the school projects on the website www.DonorsChoose.org and make a donation. Just click here.
Through the “Double Your Impact” program, your donation will be matched. The Erie Community Foundation will fund 50% of a project with a total cost of $1000 or less. In fact, anyone across the country can make a donation to Erie County school projects.
The Foundation partnered with Donors Choose because funding has been cut dramatically, and some of our children are not proficient in math and reading, which are two subjects essential to success. By supporting school projects, we can move the needle of one of the key indicators of our community which can be seen at www.ErieVitalSigns.org.
"Our desired impact is to invest in our children by funding projects that create better readers and produce skilled math students who can lead Erie forward," said Anne Sekula, vice president of Programs. "Together, we can make a difference."
Please log on to www.DonorsChoose.org make your donation today! Our children really are our future.
